In depth
Verdict
A four runner field goes to post for this contest but a tight affair none the less and we will take a chance on Trouble Ahead whom won well over course and distance when defeating Indian Venture and although he has risen in the weights for that win he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Deep Water rates the main danger on his latest form and he is creeping up the weights. However he is from a yard in form and any further rain would aid his cause. Devon View was a fair second behind Skycab last time out and could also go well but his best form of late has been over two and a half miles. Caitriona's Choice is running from out of the handicap and needs to improve to score.
